At $3.13 per sheet, it was worth it. Eat your hearts out. And yes, I was the "guy" and I am a controline flyer since 1951. H^^ y1 #^


Wow Ty, I was gonna go $75, but beyond that I decided Polyspan and SLC are me new favorite materials.

If it is still there, last Friday I seen two boxes of 00 silkspan at Mike's Hobby Shop in Carrolton TX.   I think it was about 1.35 a sheet.   

Also I must not be a true modeler as I am still with the same wife of 45+ years.

I must be with you, Doc.  This July will be 43 years with wife #1!  (if I make it another 43 years, I think I will still be happy!)

You're not a control line flyer unless you've woke up in the middle of the night  Z@@ZZZ,
calling Margret  :##, the owner of your LHS,
asking her when your CL stuff is ready for pick up
you have just ordered one day before or so  HB~>.

I hate pessimists, I prefer optimists.
Impossible is done immediately, miracles take longer.
I don't care who your father is ......... as long as I fly here,
Nobody walks, runs, floats or flies across my circle ......... not even to fetch fish, wine or bread.
